rudimentary monitoring

The D-Link DCS-933L / E surveillance camera is an affordable way to operate a rudimentary monitoring of objects.
It is easy to install and set up. The holder can optionally be used as a stand or wall bracket.
Unfortunately, the camera is powered by an AC adapter that has a very short cable. One outlet should not be continued as 1.5 meters away. That's made a bit unfortunate, because the camera is otherwise very flexible with their wireless function.
The alignment of the visual field, the camera is using a smartphone or laptop easily. In my Xperia S, the app works without problems. About the website of mydlink ", you can set up the camera. Some of you have around a bit looking for until you found all setting functions. But after a few hours I got everything back.
The picture quality is due to the low resolution, not really good, but you can see as far as anything good. Particularly well the DCS-933L / E also works in the dark.

Conclusion:
The DCS-933L / E is not suitable for a professional alarm monitoring, because it is easy to manipulate. Power off or block the Wi-Fi and already monitoring is off.
But for the private sector it is quite good.
For example, I have the camera in the shell of a house built so that the access door is monitored. Power and Wi-Fi are available. The camera I have set so that they will send me to 8 clock 20 clock a message via e-mail when it detects a movement or a sound. The noise detection is set that the sound should be quite noisy. In the motion detection you can select the image section, which triggers the alarm. I monitor only the upper part, so that not every cat that runs through the shell wakes me.
In my alarm, the system sends 2 pictures before and 4 pictures after activation. This then I can see on my smartphone and then make up my mind whether I should go to the site or if necessary, the police have to call.

For the price I do not know any system which is as easy and quick to install.

The only point of I do not like is that I have not figured out what happened on the server with my pictures of mydlink.
